Hi all,

If you look at my profile you’ll see previous posts and I’m now trying to look at my next trade to beat my friend who’s challenged me to the paperclip challenge!! I’m too competitive for my own good!

I currently have an Xbox 360 if anyone has something they are willing to trade!?

Due to another recent illness which has left me struggling further with my mobility, I am downsizing and selling my house and looking a flat. What has surprised me is the disparity in service charges for the properties I have looked at online so far, the most expensive I have come across is £4500 a year for a flat which needs extensive work on it.

If you were in Rednal South Brum, and a Zombie apocalypse was starting... Where do you go to seek shelter? You have a car & only half a tank of petrol... You have food to last around 2 weeks...

the clubbing scene, places to eat, activities . is there anything good anymore or did broad st die off years ago? what would you like to see change or is it really just a tram line destination now?

I saw a recent article about Waitrose in Hall Green closing down after 53 years and I got me wondering how has Hall Green changed over time. Please could you share your stories and observations?

Hall Green has generally been regarded as one of the better suburbs of Birmingham, due to its good transport links, access to good schools, relatively low crime rate and attractive streets. Some of the reaction to Waitrose closing has suggested that residents feel Hall Green has declined.

I was trying to find some services on the Birmingham City Council website and came across 'WiFi Zones' on a map.

I guess these are places you can use free WiFi access. But searching about it I came across this:

https://visitbirmingham.com/plan/wifi/

'Unlimited free Wi-Fi is available in Birmingham city centre, providing 2.5 square miles of coverage.'

I haven't been to the city centre for years, is this actually working in the city centre and how do you actually use it??

Hey Everyone,

I'm David, and I’m currently working on a course project focused on the badminton community in Birmingham. Since I love the sport and regularly attend the All England tournaments, I’ve chosen Birmingham as my area of research.

To gather insights for my project, I’ve created a short, anonymous survey to better understand the experiences and preferences of local players. It takes just 2 minutes to complete!

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for your time.

Confirmation that waitrose is closing in Hall Green, its all downhill from here for this area

Edit* https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/birmingham-waitrose-store-close-after-30068673

Anyone know what's happening? There's a sign on the door that just says "We close for business" and it looks like the interior is being gutted?

Hoping it's just a refurb and not permanent closure!

Please suggest some good Brum city council leisure centre closer to the city centre mainly for swimming? Looking for reasonable rates and clean ones, public pools are risky but need to learn proper swimming to tick off my bucket list

Planning on going with friends and their kids so ideally one fun for all ages! Thank you :)

We have cars so whilst one closer to Birmingham is ideal, happy to travel a little further.

hii! i’m 18 and i really wanna go clubbing (with others btw) . i’ve seen heidi’s bier bar and snobs all over my feed and they look cool but im not sure which one i should go to, any tips??

Does anyone know of any places in Birmingham where you can buy short dated/overstocked/discounted food, that may be an oversupply or close to best before date. Or cash and carry where you can buy discounted food in bulk

Heron foods have bits and pieces, and I remember years ago going Latifs warehouse in Digbeth I think. I also know of the company shop, but the Yardley branch closed down. I am trying to find ways to save on food shopping

Please not costco though

So I've noticed there's a spot in Moseley where I just cannot get a decent phone signal for data (with the current bus detours I've spent more time in these spots). It's the triangle-ish between Salisbury, Russel, Reddings and Alcester Road.

Is it just me (e.g. EE)? Is it the bemuda triangle of south brum? Or are there other spooky dead spots?

£30 for both

Comment if interested and I’ll DM you

Hi Everyone! I am planning to move to Birmingham relatively soon from the US and just wanted to ask what might be the best areas to live for a gay young professional?

Also how is the gay nightlife in the city as well as other things to do?

Thank you in advance!

Not necessarily for students but a place where students gather often, somewhere other selly oak as im bored of it. Im looking for a place to study and chill and meet people around my age

I’m an east Asian male in my 20’s, and I live in a residential area near the city centre.

It was last Saturday and the sky was getting dark. A few minutes after I got downstairs from my apartment, I saw a group of three well-dressed corporate-looking white woman walking in my direction. They were loud and seemingly drunk or intoxicated in some way, perhaps going to a work party. I wanted to walk past them, trying not to care much about them, when one of them suddenly left the group and bolted towards me, laughing, hands raised and being all weird. I tried dodging her since she was blocking my way, so having grown up playing hockey it wasn’t too hard for me to run past her so that she couldn’t catch me - fuck knows what she’d do if she managed to grab my arm.

After I had dodged her, she was behind me, and I was faced with the two other women who were filming the whole thing laughing at me. I stood in front of them, looked right into their phone cameras and asked how that was even appropriate. They started making loads of noises and the laughing got deafening, swear words were flying everywhere and one even shouted “whay whay whay show me your PENIS!”

Afterwards I just walked away, shaking my head. Honestly couldn’t be arsed to deal with that.

This is not the first time I got harassed by women in Birmingham, and this is the first place where I got harassed by women twice in half a year. I feel bad for women who have to go through this every day and as a man I do my best to make them feel as comfortable as possible, taking all their advice and stuff. What did I even do to deserve this?

Any good car wash places you've been to that do a decent job? I'm Harborne based but idm driving around.

Maya Hawke announced her tour is coming to Birmingham o2 academy in July next year and the pre sale says General Admission Standing only.

Does this mean that I cannot access the balcony and must use the floor?

I’ve got a ticket to see Fucked Up later in October, but I’ve never heard of/been to Mama Roux’s before. I’m going by myself which I always find a little nerve wracking so I want to get as much info as I can before I show up!

The journey from New St to the venue looks like it’s main roads - am I right in thinking it’ll be fairly safe walking back after? It’s a Wednesday night.

Hi all

Can anyone recommend any singles night event's for over 40's please?

Thanks in advance.

These proposed cuts could be really bad for inner city youth, the most familiar to me being the lighthouse has kept a lot of people my age occupied and off the streets causing trouble.

Bus I’m on sideswiped a car in the middle of the fiveways roundabout - blocking all but 1 lane. Hence potentially more traffic than usual.
